Конспект урока "To look like, to be like, to like"

To like, to be like, to look like, as… as, not as … as

Kirill: Oh, a letter from Sandra! Finally! Let`s see how she`s doing. (Open the e-mail.)

Look at all these questions! ‘How are you? How is the family you`re staying with? What are they like? What do they look like? What do they like?’

MMMM….. Why is she asking the same question for several times? Почему она задает один и тот же вопрос несколько раз? ‘What are they like? What do they look like? What do they like?’ They are a bit different but I`m not aware of their meaning. Они немного отличаются, но я не знаю разницы в их значении. I think I`d better ask for advice. …

Kirill: Who`s online? ….. Oh, Vlad is online. Hope he`ll be able to help me. Let`s skype. …     Hi, Vlad. How are you doing?

Vlad: I`m fine. Thanks. Has anything happened? Why aren`t you sleeping so late?

Kirill: Vlad, I`ve got an e-mail from Sandra. And she is asking many very similar questions. I don`t know the difference between them. Could you help me?

Vlad: With pleasure. Hope I`m smart enough to help you.

Kirill: So, I`m sending you the questions. Here we go.

 Vlad: Oh, yes, I`ve got them! ‘What are they like? What do they look like? What do they like?’ Oh, everything is very easy. Look here:

We`ve got different phrases in these sentences. To be like - is used while describing the personality of someone or the attributes of something. Итак, ‘to be like’ используется при описании личности кого-либо (то есть, черты характера человека) или же признаки чего-либо (то при описании неживых предметов). So if you are asked: ‘What are they like?’, you should describe the personalities of your host family. So, what are they like, Kirill?

Kirill: They are kind, friendly and very sociable.

Vlad: That`s right. So, the next phrase is ‘to look like’. It is used to describe somebody`s appearance. А вот фраза ‘to look like’ используется при описании внешности человека. And if you are asked ‘What do they look like?’, you should describe people`s appearance. So, what are they like, Kirill?

Kirill: They are in their fortieth. Им около сорока. Mrs. Wilson is a good-looking woman with long wavy hair and kind eyes. Миссис Вильсон – красивая женщина, с длинными волнистыми волосами и добрыми глазами. Mr. Wilson is a tall slim man with short straight dark hair. Мистер Вильсон – высокий худой мужчина с короткими прямыми темными волосами. He is all smiles. Он всегда улыбается.

Vlad: That`s right. And the last question is: ‘What do they like?’ Here you have to write about their preferences in something: food or leisure, etc. А вот в данном случае нам нужно ответить о предпочтениях в чем-либо: еде, отдыхе и т.д.

Kirill: I see now. And the reply to the question: ‘What do they like? would be ‘They like good music, delicious food and friendly talks at the dinner table.’

Vlad: You`ve caught the idea! But to remember the meanings of these phrases better you should do some tasks. So, I`m sending you them.

Kirill:  You`re the best! Thanks Vlad! Let`s see what we   `ve got here.

At first we have to match the phrase with its meaning.

to like  

to describe personality

to be like

to find enjoyable, agreeable

to look like

to describe appearance, resemblance

The verb ‘to like’нравиться, любить. So we match it with ‘to find enjoyable, agreeable’ – находить приятным, это и естьнравиться. ‘To be like’  - описание личности, характера, so we match it with ‘to describe personality’ – описывать личность (характер). ‘To look like’ быть похожим на, выглядеть как (описание внешности), so we match it with ‘to describe appearance, resemblance’ описывать внешность, схожие черты.

Vlad: Hey, everything`s correct! Let`s go on then!

Use: What does Nancy look like? What is she like? What does Nancy like?

The first sentence: … – She is a slim good-looking girl. She`s quite tall. I think she`s as tall as my older sister. We`ve got Nancy`s appearance in the answer. So, we use ‘What does Nancy look like? Как Нэнси выглядит? How do we translate the answer? She`s quite tall. Она достаточно высокая.  I think she`s as tall as my older sister. Я думаю, что она How do we translate ‘as tall as’? Maybe I`ll find the translation on the internet…

look: ‘as…as’’ – такой же как. So, in our case ‘as tall as’ means такой же высокий, как’. Я думаю, что она такая же высокая, как и моя старшая сестра.

The next task: … - I can say that Nancy is a nice person. She`s not as serious as her elder sister but she`s 5 years younger. Here we speak about Nancy`s character. So, we use ‘What is Nancy like?” Какая Нэнси (по характеру?). I can say that Nancy is a nice person.  Я могу сказать, что Нэнси – приятный человек. ‘Not as serious as’… mmm …If ‘as … as’ means ‘такой же как’, then, ‘not as… as’ не такой как’. Точно! ‘As… as’ – такой же как, ‘not as…as’ – не такой как. She`s not as serious as her elder sister but she`s 5 years younger. Она не такая серьезная, как ее старшая сестра, но она ведь на 5 лет моложе!

And the final task: I`d like to buy her a present. But … So, it`s easy. Here we need to know what the person likes, her preferences. But what does Nancy like? Но что же нравится Нэнси?

Kirill: I think I`m ready to answer Sandra`s e-mail. Oh, look, it`s almost midnight! It`s too late now. I`ll do it tomorrow morning.
